About Stealing The Diamond

Stealing the Diamond drops you into the shoes of the legendary stick figure thief, Henry Stickmin, as he attempts his most ambitious heist yet: snatching the massive Tunisian Diamond from a high-security museum exhibit. This interactive point-and-click adventure is built entirely around choice and consequence. At every critical juncture, you are presented with a set of tools, tactics, or incredibly bad ideas to progress. Should you aggressively bust in on a scooter or try to sneak in from the roof? Every decision branches the narrative into new and increasingly absurd directions.

The real charm of the game lies in its trial-and-error gameplay loop. Success is rewarding, but the spectacular, slapstick failure animations are the true highlight. Whether you're being crushed by a poorly placed explosive or getting caught in a ridiculous disguise, finding every possible way to fail is just as satisfying as pulling off the perfect crime. With multiple unique endings to discover, uncovering all the hilarious paths is highly encouraged.

Controls

The controls are entirely mouse-based. When the game pauses at a decision point, simply click on the option or item you want Henry to use. If a choice leads to a fail state, you can click the "Retry" button to immediately jump back to your last decision and try something else.

Tips

  • Embrace the fails: Do not just try to win on your first go. The unique fail animations are the best part of the experience, so click every option to see what happens.
  • Check the map: Use the in-game map screen to see which branches and endings you have already unlocked and which ones are still hiding new content.
  • Look for references: The game is packed with hidden pop-culture nods and inside jokes. Sometimes the most ridiculous-sounding option yields the funniest Easter eggs.
